Thaz NOT how DoF works. Has nothing at all to do with angle of view, wide, normal, etc, and has everything to do with the final image magnification. (Therefor it also has nothing to do with format size.) Experience teaches you that. Reading UHH armchair experts will just further mislead or confuse you.
To follow your "logic" if I put the 55mm from a Pentax 6x7 on my Canon 5Dxx for use as a 55mm normal lens (instead of a Canon 50mm) then the DoF will majically increase cuz that Pentax 55mm 6x7 lens is actually a wide angle design in its own native habitat.
After all a Canon 5Dxx really is just a crop sensor camera, relative to a Pentax 6x7, so the majic should work ... if the majic ever had worked anywhere at all, which it DOES NOT ! FL does not determine DoF for any resulting final image. Again, experience will teach you how it works (but depending, acoarst, on your awareness of what youre experiencing !).

What you're saying about the 55mm lens on different cameras is nonsense. That's not what I was talking about.
